De facto Democratic nominee and Republican candidate now locked in a dead heat for the White House, polling shows.
United States Vice President Kamala Harris has erased former President Donald Trump’s lead in the race for the White House, with the Democratic and Republican standard-bearers now locked in a dead heat, newly released polling shows.
Harris has closed the gap with Trump both nationwide and in key battleground states since becoming the de-facto Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 presidential race, according to a series of polls published on Tuesday.
Harris is ahead of Trump in four key battleground states, while the former president is ahead in two, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll of registered voters.
Harris leads Trump in Michigan by 11 percentage points and by two points in Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada, according to the poll.
Trump has a four-point advantage in Pennsylvania and a two-point lead in North Carolina, while the pair are tied in Georgia.
